> Multiple applications sharing a database [regret]
The industry has known this to be a stereotypically bad idea for generations now. It lead to things like the enterprise sevice bus, service-oriented architectures, and finally "micro services". Recently I've seen "micro services" that share the same database, so we've come full-circle.
Yet, every place I've worked was either laboring under a project to decouple two or more applications that were conjoined at the DB, or were still at the "this sucks but no one wants to fix it" stage.
How do we keep making this same mistake in industry?
